Euribor rates halt falls, 1-week and 1-yr rise

FRANKFURT, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Bank-to-bank lending rates halted recent falls Wednesday, with key rates remaining unchanged and one-week and one-year rates rising. The three-month rate, traditionally the main gauge of interbank euro lending and a mix of interest rate expectations and banks' appetite for lending, remained at 0.715 percent. The six-month Euribor was also unmoved at a record low 0.992 percent. The one-year rate inched up to 1.230 percent from 1.229 percent, while the shorter-term one-week rate continued its recent climb, rising to 0.364 percent from 0.361 percent. The ECB kept rates at a record low of 1.0 percent in its meeting last week but took a step towards unwinding its generous liquidity policy by hinting it will probably not extend one-year lending operations past December. Interbank rates have been for more than a year due to the ECB's rapid run of official interest rate cuts and its massive injections of liquidity, although recent weeks have pointed to a reduction in excess cash.
